Sept. 9 marks the day in 1873 when the Village of Burlington formed and today at City Hall, we not only celebrated our Burlington 150+ anniversary with special flag-raisings and a special proclamation, we also recognized that our city’s history goes beyond 150 years and honoured the diverse Indigenous Peoples who have lived in this area, including the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation.
Thank you to our special guests: Elder and Healer WhiteEagle, Burlington MP Karina Gould, Burlington MPP Natalie Pierre, Oakville-North MPP Effie Triantafilopoulos, Halton Regional Chair Gary Carr, my Council colleagues Kelvin Galbraith, Shawna Stolte, Paul Sharman and Angelo Bentivegna, Halton District School Board Chair Margo Shuttleworth, our wonderful Burlington Town Crier David Vollick, our extraordinary talented Burlington Teen Tour Band — and everyone from the community who could join us.

As @bnaibrithcanada#LHR Director I'm appalled at the antisemitic incident in #Belleville where some demonstrators shouted anti-Jewish slurs at P.M. @justintrudeau. We recognize the right to demonstrate but we call on the public to denounce this act of antisemitism. #canpoli

@AD4Burlington@ArfinNathaniel@AndreaGrebenc@HaltonDSB @TrusteeRocha Hi Andrew, sorry your son went in. Just got off the phone with the principal and reaffirmed communication came through tweets, Instagram & email- bus cancelled equals exam cancel. It was a School to School decision, depending on walk ability.
